you don't have any other programs open that would interfere, do you? (sm)
I had 2 programs open at the same time and they both used the same foot pedal. I thought I broke something, but realized both were open, shut one down and viola! it worked!
I have MJ also and if I have too many programs open on my computer, my phone will not work. nm

maybe youhave too many windows or programs open or minimized?..nm

I've had 3 at one time, but only one open at a time. nm

Ihave not heard about that but
My son is sort of a "Handy Manny" and we are working on creating a foot pedal that hooks right into the change counter. That way when you finish a line you just press the foot pedal to make the coin drop. We are working on a change counter with a much larger capacity -- it stands about 2 feet tall - to save time on refilling. I wonder if there is a market for this. I could be rich like the post-it lady.
Yes, as stated, as long as only one open at a time.
the companies are using different versions of Extext, and in that case, you'd have to go through an upgrade when opening Extext for the different companies.
Do you think pc attacks only occur at night? They are looking for open pc all the time.
:P
I am open tomorrow night ......just post a time!

You can only have one Outlook Express open and downloading emails at a time. If have both the SM
laptop and the PC trying to download email for the same address, you are going to have one downloading some and the other downloading whatever comes in after the first computer downloads, make sense? That's why you are only getting part of your email on one and part on the other. You have two different machines trying to download the same emails.
If you set both Outlook Express programs set up the exact same way on each computer, then both will work, but not at the same time.
Hope that makes sense.
Doc trying to go digital and having a heck of a time/can't open files. Please see message.
I am working with a doctor's office who has an Olympus recorder (I think it's the W-10). She has been trying to send me a sound file. She sent a sound file that was left in the recorder from about a year ago to see if it would work and it opened up just fine for me with my transcription player (Philips Executive SpeechMike kit).
Since that time, she has tried to send many more test dictations that she just recorded herself to try and I am unable to open up any of them. She says that when she downloads the sound file from the recorder to her computer it is a WAV file, but as soon as she tries to email it to me, it changes to a VAL file extension.
This is quite frustrating for both of us and I am trying to find any reason at all that this is not working (since it did work on the first dictation that someone else had recorded previously but won't work since on anything else). This makes me think it might be something she is doing while recording? Is anyone able to tell me anything she might be doing wrong that might be causing this problem? Or any suggestions on anything else we can do?
I did download the voice software that came with her recorder. I am able to play the files there, but not on my Philips transcription player, which I need to do to transcribe the files. As I said before, the first file she sent did play on my transcription player, but none of the files she sent since then will work. I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions you might have at all. Thank you.
You can't just open the attachment. You need to save it to a file and then open SM
your wave player and load it.
Word Expander Programs - Are there any expander programs that are easy to use and learn
that are similar to the MS Word expander? I prefer something very simple. I like MS Word expander; however I have gone over my limits and cannot add any more shortcuts so I need a program that will hold a larger amount of shortcuts. Many thanks.
How do I get it ST to open when escription is open?
MT programs
The top 3 MT programs are Andrews, M-Tec and Career Step. Have not read any complaints about Andrews or M-TEC. Graduates from those two schools have a much better chance of getting hired at home without 2 years of experience.
MT programs
I found a new company online called MT2B. It appears that if you successfully complete their school they will offer you a job at their company. Some of the MT courses out there are hard to follow and do not teach you all that you need to know when you first begin job hunting. I know this from tutoring and mentoring new MTs for the past 9 years. This school seems to teach in a more hands on manner from what I understand. Might want to give them a try. I found them at www.MT2b.com.
This jobs does have a lot of ups and downs. I have been in this business for 12 years and I wouldnt trade it for anything. It has allowed me to take care of my son who has health problems and be at home. I have made good money and not so much money. I see it as...it has its problems just like any other job at home or not at home. Just have to hang in there and find the place of employment that fits you best as an individual. There are still some good companies out there. Just have to find them.
Good luck to you
FAX PROGRAMS
I use the Winfax program. Works great. You fax reports right from your computerr rather than printing and then faxing. Saves time, paper, and ink. Receive faxes directly to your computer as well which can be sent to your printer.
the programs
Are set up in such a way, that they know who their star players are, who their B players are, and who are the problem children. Sounds like he just wanted to buy a new boat and didn't want to have to get a loan first.
programs? SM please
Hi
I have work to transcribe and I can't find any programs that work well to do it. Instead I am listening to the same sentences over and over at least 40 times, miss a word and can't go back, try to and you go back to zero, lose a half hour listening to what I already had, etc.
Please tell me if you know any good programs. Working with MS Media Player and F4, typing in Wordpad. THANKS
VR programs
What VR programs are the best to use for the most productivity?
Are there free FTP programs?
Are there free FTP programs?
TIA
Lost programs.
I bought a new computer and was going to let my daughter use my old one for a project she had going. She deleted all my transcription programs. Later, her project fell through and I needed the computer to use in my home office. I was able to do a system restore, even after several weeks, and get almost all my stuff back. For some reason, Stedman's spell check did not come back up, so I do not know what happened there, but everything else was there.
productivity programs
Our company is currently using Winscribe dictation system, but they did not buy the transcription side of this, which creates a database and templates and saves the work to a file.
I am looking for productivity program that works the same way that is reasonable. ADS may be one but I have no feedback on this.
Any suggestions.
encryption programs
Speaking of encryption, my doc wants to go through tapeless and go with a WAV pedal program. What are the ins and outs of these programs; what's good; what's not. Are they easy to load, setup, etc. And, what above the WAV pedal programs? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
encryption programs
Can anyone tell me of a good encryption program to use with WAV pedal program?
12 step programs, which above are
referring to, are all based on God, a higher power - surrendering to that higher power, and then healing following the 12 steps. Leaving religion out of recovery is rather contradictory!
exercise programs (sm)
For about three years, I had suffered with severe asthma and allergies. I could not ever get any of it under control. I had to take a lot of steroids during that time and everytime I tried to get in an exercise routine it would just exacerbate my symptoms. It turned out we had a black mold problem. I was the only one with symptoms though.
We moved though and now I am in total recovery. My asthma is completely under control. I might only take it now once or twice a month, if at all (used to take it 4-6 times a day). Doctors say I may always have it now.
I have put on a significant amount of though and really would like to get it off. I don't feel good about myself anymore. I eat very well and I am maintaining my current weight. I just do not get the exercise I need.
I was really active into Taebo before all of this began, but I don't feel like I can just jump back into that right away. I need something that would slowly work me back into shape. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Recommended Programs
I have a bachelors degree in Biology and one in Medical Technology. Right now I am working for a hematology instrumentation manufacturing company. Getting tired of the rat race and with the change of being "let go" at anytime (seeing a lot of people that started with me go) I am looking for something to back me up an hopefully work from home. How do you guys recommend one gets started as an MT? I went into the AAMT website and saw three educational programs recommended, M-Tec, Andrews, and Career Step. Are these good places to start? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Recommended Programs
Thanks for all the inputs, with everything I have heard, it seems that becoming an MT is a really bad idea.
I know, I still can't watch any of his programs
yet. He was so ALIVE it just seems unreal that he isn't here anymore :( My heart goes out for Terri and the kids.
thanks but prefer programs not from...
Shortcut programs?
Which shortcut program is easier to use? Shortcut for Windows, Smartype, or InstanText? I need to start building a good shortcut list so I can build up my line count?
RE: Shortcut programs
I really like Shortcut. I just upped my version.
TiVo your programs...sm
I used to work with my tv on, and it really dragged my day out. Now, I keep it off and watch my shows at night that I put my DVR. Look into your cable company about it if you haven't already.
coding programs
I heard that they are coming out with programs that will scan the note and pick out the key words needed to do coding. Pretty scary if the transcription is not accurate! So do they outsource to India to save money and then have good coders, or do they hire good transcriptionists and use a scanning program for coding? Either way, our future looks pretty grim.
Abbreviation programs
Hi - What type of abbreviation program is good? I used to have Abbreviate, but no longer have it. Is Foxfire a good program? Does anyone just use their Word autocorrect strictly? If you use Word autocorrect - do you know how to copy it and put it on another computer?
Thanks for any help!!
Back up programs sm
I'm notorious for not running backups and need to get in the habit of running regular backups. How recommending a good, easy, not too costly program?
Both programs running (sm)
will make your computer run slow. I tried One Care, didn't like it. Also, I don't run PC Tools Spyware Doctor, just put it on when I'm finished for the day to scan computer at night. The One Care combined with Spyware Doctor are the culprits. Try turning them off and see what happens. Good luck.
Most companies' programs are not yet
compatible with Vista. Some companies let you use satellite, some don't.
Is there other programs that are similar to...
Express Scribe? I was just curious.
Thank you again~
training programs
Yep, definitely smaller or local companies as they sometimes offer a paid training program. I actually got a job like that. I have a couple years expereince but I don't test well. My job was offered to me as a training program and once I learn all the providers well, I will actually become a regular employee. I really like this program. I have already learned so much and am released on 3/4 of the providers already. My advise is to not give up and look for a smaller company. Something will turn up for you. There is actually a list of transcription companies, I can give you the site if you are interested. Send me an e-mail if you want the list. Good luck and best wishes.
In your programs folder under
function?
Antivirus programs sm
On my personal computer, I seem to have picked up some kind of virus. I keep getting popups all over the place and one of them is telling me that I have viruses and I should purchase their program to remove them, which I don't want to do because that program is likely a virus in sheep's clothing. I was running AVG (the free program) but apparently it did not stop whatever bug I picked up.
My questions are: 1. If I purchase an antivirus program (from Walmart or Staples, for example), will this remove whatever has already taken up residence on my PC?
2. What is the best virus program for the money on the market?
Thanks in advance!
I went into add/remove programs, then had to go into
start and search, and it still was coming back. If you Google you can find out how others have gotten rid of it also, that helped me a lot. OMG - that is awful, isnt it, that message that keeps coming up haha,
happy 'deleting'
transcribing programs? SM
Not even sure that is the correct word. I am trying to transcribe from a CD but using f4 is not working, no control with footpedal. It's taking me forever. If I do the whole thing like this I'll be making about $1/hour. Is there another free download that would work? Thanks in advance.
Programs for radiology
Do any of you have a prefrence for transcribing your radiology reports? i.e. software program, shortcuts, etc.? I use IT and Syngo, formerly Novius, and just can't seem to get the hang of it, IT does not dock at the bottom automatically even though those boxes are checked. Any suggestions? TIA.
Installilng two AV programs...
...is not a bad idea, provided, of course, that only one is running at any given time. It
's little different, really, from what suggested somewhere above in this thread, that periodic/occasional scans using an online scanner in addition to the resident one might be prudent.
I do that with antispyware programs, having PC Tools Spyware Doctore running resident (Google offers a free version as part of its Google Pack), then running another spyware scan weekly (I alternate between Ad-Aware, Spybot Search & Destroy, SUPERAntiSpyware, and Malwarebytes, in rotation).
However, just as Ad-Aware and Spybot conflict to some extent (in that each wants to see the other as a potential threat, likely due to their respective scans detecting some of the data of the other's definitions), I can't guarantee that two different AV programs might not have similar false alarms.
Vista and programs
I run Vista. I know there is a diff way to install programs. I was told to go the programs wizard and install as "XP" for example, and that helps with installing programs for Vista.
My prob with Vista currently is my 3 in 1 printer won't scan, but I was just glad it was compatible for plain printing and faxing. I might have to put that disc in there again for the printer but keep putting it off since technically scanning is not a priority for me right now.
I would love for them to come up with something better than Vista but I'm afraid we'll still have the same trouble with compatibility issues. I work in Word 2007 but in the compatibility mode since none of my accounts use Word 2007. What a waste, but hey, I'm making money, so can't complain... :)
They are software programs such as sm
Shorthand, that allow you to make abbreviations for words, sentences and even entire text; then save them as a file.
There are other Expanders programs out there too, but I believe ShortHand is used most often.
As I am also old, that's the best I can do. I've been using them for years, started out using Flashforward in WP5.1.
I have two favorite programs.....
ExText and DocQscribe. Extext is great. You have only two windows you will ever see. One is the patient demographic screen which, if the company you are working for is set up correctly, will be completed for the most part, and your typing screen. There is a really good Expander program which recognizes bolding and underlying, and will allow you to make an expansion out of an entire physical exam. It is a really good program.
The programs don't show up there...
They are in the 'files' section. Any ideas how I would launch the installation from the files directory?
TIA :-)
Different Word programs
I've never really used Word, was in Word Perfect for years and then other proprietary platforms. I have Word 2007, which says it's home and student. Now I see some job ads which specifically say, no home or student versions. Why? What is the difference between versions, besides bigger price tags? Could I get a job using the version I've got? Also, would I need some tutorials in Word before launching into it? I always loved WP, myself.
